Drawing on his rich experience in both church leadership and the market place, John Elzinga exposes those traits and attitudes that keep us from serving God effectively in our relationships and callings--and he offers us wise guidance in pointing us to the path of "grace-full" living.

“This is a great book for all who want to avoid the trap of using God’s power and truth to manipulate and control others from a self-constructed pedestal made of sorry doctrine.”

“Thank God I’m Not a Pharisee…or am I?” shows us who we really are, and moves us to be more accepting, loving, and ultimately, more like Christ.

John has written a book that is clear and helpful about a clear and present danger to the spiritual health of the church. I recommend it.

When I see fellow Christians create and develop tools and resources that assist me in this ministry, I not only celebrate them, but also want to pass it on.  John Elzinga challenges us as Christians to “hold in check” issues of self-righteousness, legalism, and traditionalism.  I want to personally encourage you to take this opportunity to get his most recent study which he entitles:  “Thank God I’m Not a Pharisee…or am I?” 

—Dr. Stephen Struikmans, Founding Pastor
